The Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act supports programs that foster a safe and drug-free learning environment. Authorized activities include drug, violence and suicide prevention programs; professional development and training; developing school security plans; conflict resolution, community service and character education programs; family involvement activities; counseling; mentoring; and emergency intervention services. The Uniform Provisions for equitable services for private school students apply to programs authorized under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, including the competitive grant programs awarded directly by the Department.

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program
provides before- and after-school as well as summer services to students
and their families. These are academic enrichment activities, particularly
for students who attend low-performing schools, to help them meet
state and local student performance standards in core academic subjects.
Activities may include remedial education, academic enrichment, art,
music, tutoring, mentoring, recreation, technology, drug and violence
prevention, counseling, character education and family literacy. The
Uniform Provisions apply to the 21st CCLC program and require
equitable services for private school students, teachers and other
education personnel who are part of the target population.
